Equivalent or Lower Level Qualifications (ELQ)

The Government has announced that is no longer providing funding for students who wish to study a qualification that is equivalent to, or at a lower level than one they have already achieved.

In response to the Government’s decision to change the funding model for higher education the University is required to charge a higher rate fee.  The ‘ELQ’ fee for the 2009 entry was £10,498 and is subject to annual increase for students starting in September 2010.

Applicants are required to disclose details of all qualifications completed or pending at the point of application in order that a proper assessment of fee status can be made.  The University of Kent will take action to reclaim fees retrospectively from registered students who have been undercharged, if such undercharging was the result of the applicant failing to provide complete or accurate qualifications data on which their fee status was based, or as a result of a failure of the applicant to disclose their ELQ status when asked to do so.
